The Copernicus Sentinel-3C satellite is set to launch on September 14 from the European Spaceport in French Guiana, aboard a Vega C launcher operated by Avio. The mission, owned and funded by the European Commission, will provide vital information about Earth’s oceans, land, ice, and atmosphere, and will join Sentinels 3A and 3B in Sun synchronous orbit. Sentinel-3C will ensure continuity of services for thousands of users worldwide, and its data will be used to support climate monitoring, environmental management, and sustainable development. The launch was announced by the European Commission, according to Unknown Source.
